    The article talks about how the government is full of appointees who have lifetime jobs and are hard to get rid of. Governed, in reality, by unelected people.

    I want to be a citizen. You want me to be a subject.

    That's always been the difference.

    Double standard. Tell me Trump's war on the media justifies the media not doing its job again.


    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/30/...ld-trump-targets-journalists-thank-obama.html

    If Donald Trump Targets Journalists, Thank Obama

    Criticism of Mr. Obama’s stance on press freedom, government transparency and secrecy is hotly disputed by the White House, but many journalism groups say the record is clear. Over the past eight years, the administration has prosecuted nine cases involving whistle-blowers and leakers, compared with only three by all previous administrations combined. It has repeatedly used the Espionage Act, a relic of World War I-era red-baiting, not to prosecute spies but to go after government officials who talked to journalists.

    Under Mr. Obama, the Justice Department and the F.B.I. have spied on reporters by monitoring their phone records, labeled one journalist an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal case for simply doing reporting and issued subpoenas to other reporters to try to force them to reveal their sources and testify in criminal cases.

    I experienced this pressure firsthand when the administration tried to compel me to testify to reveal my confidential sources in a criminal leak investigation. The Justice Department finally relented — even though it had already won a seven-year court battle that went all the way to the Supreme Court to force me to testify — most likely because they feared the negative publicity that would come from sending a New York Times reporter to jail.

    Other than making it easier to fire poor performers, are you advocating for some other change here? Do you want to directly elect all federal employees or something? That'd be a mighty long ballot.

    More like double standard syndrome exposed.

    I see. Well, good luck with that. Anything else from the 19th century you want to go back to while we are at it?

    These treads where Denny posts are interesting. It's like Denny has a barfo attached to his hull. But he can never quite completely scrape it off.

    You can bring up the double standard as much as you want, but that doesn't make either party any more or less innocent.

    Shipwrecks do tend to accumulate a lot of barnacles. The SS Denny went aground years ago.

    No, it doesn't. That's what should be reported, no?

    I just prefer we don't turn into something like Venezuela. That's where your kind would have us go.

    all I could picture when reading the "your kind" comment was the bar scene from the original Stat Wars. LOL

    Hmmm, did Trump know about the meeting or not... so hard to get a straight answer

    Who knew keeping stories straight about illegal meetings could be so complicated.
